Ready or Not…
Saturday, March 27, 2010
The 2010 Toronto FC season starts today.
After what can only be called the most dramatic offseason in the club’s short history, as of four o’clock this afternoon the games start meaning something, whether Preki’s crew is ready or not.
Forget the pre-season games, because as of right now, they mean nothing. Push aside that painful 4-0 drubbing by NYRB that we all watched on a crap web feed emanating from Disney World. Erase the memories of no current TFC player actually scoring a goal throughout the pre-season games.
Those events – no matter how painful to endure – no longer matter.
As of right now, Preki is on the clock.
Much lamenting and hand-wringing has been done by anxious TFC fans wondering exactly what Preki’s plan is, or if he even has one. He says he does, and the man has earned the right to prove it.
I’ll admit it, I myself have wondered just why the new gaffer saw fit to act like Leafs GM Brian Burke in completely dismantling his team, when it was only one point away from its first ever playoff appearance a few months ago. It seemed that that team only need a couple of minor tweaks to be truly competitive, but instead Preki has decided to go in virtually the opposite direction, shipping off everyone who doesn’t fit his preferred mould.
It seemed, to the untrained eye, a very puzzling policy. But that’s the point. Ninety-nine-point-nine per cent of us among the unwashed masses will never play or manage the game at the level Preki has, and that fact alone earns him the right to with his team what he feels will make TFC a successful club on the new BMO Field pitch.
Sure, the counterpoint to the above statement is that Mo Johnston has also played and managed at a level far higher than the vast majority of supporters, and yet he seems to have been over his head over the past three years. The simple answer to that is that Preki has actually managed a successful MLS club (Chivas USA), while Johnston has not.
The games start for real today, and for all the hand-wringing and apprehension displayed by success-starved supporters over the last several weeks, this is Preki’s team. His record has earned him the right to be given a somewhat long leash by the fans, and it up to him and only him whether he runs with it or fashions himself a red and white noose.
I know what I’ll be hoping for.

To get appropriately hyped up for the season, I suggest you all give this video a look.
If that doesn’t get you excited for the season, I suggest getting yourself to a hospital and getting your pulse checked.
